Katakana characters for EBCDIC

Ordinary identifiers with an EBCDIC encoding scheme can contain Katakana characters if the Db2 installation is set to allow it.

The field EBCDIC CCSID on installation panel DSNTIPF determines the system CCSIDs for EBCDIC-encoded data. Ordinary identifiers with an EBCDIC encoding scheme can contain Katakana characters if the field contains the value 5026 or 930. There are no corresponding SQL processing options. EBCDIC CCSID applies equally to static and dynamic statements. For dynamically prepared statements, the applicable value is always the one at the local Db2.
